The Biggest Tater Trot Yet
Suzy with first place men (Mitch Esker) and women's (Stephanie Tainter) 10K finishers.
Mild summer temperatures, tasty baked Wisconsin potatoes and Wisconsin’s very own three-time Olympian, Suzy Favor Hamilton, helped make the 31st Annual Tater Trot the best and biggest yet. Over 300 athletes participated, including 78-year-old Kent Schlienger of Pelican Lake.
Ms. Favor Hamilton placed herself in the middle of the 10K pack and was available to congratulate race finishers. Antigo natives Mitch Esker (39:29.9) and Stephanie Tainter (38:15.5) posted first place finishes in the 10K event.
We’d like to thank everyone who participated. And we invite you to attend the REAP Food for Thought Festival on September 17 in Madison, Wisconsin. The Festival provides visitors with an entertaining look at healthy, sustainable food options. Suzy will be there sharing fresh potato chips and Wisconsin potato recipes.
